The build quality is exceptional. In other words, I hear no rattles, and I am the second owner. Car rides extremely smooth. Gas mileage is great. I get approximately 32 miles to a gallon. The only problem I have had with this vehicle is Hyundai had a recall on the motor, and, of course, mine was one the motor had to be replaced in.

I like that it has a built-in 'low air in tire' warning system, though I think that was not on purpose, but the traction control system flags when the air is too low. Overall, the car is quite good, better than average though not as good as a Toyota. I don't like that the undercarriage wasn't rust proofed, and one of my first major repairs was only a few months after purchase when I had to replace the entire brake line system as the lack of coating caused it to rust thru -- that could have been potentially dangerous had I not paid attention to the brake warning lights. I also don't like that there is an apparent short in the door lock electrical systems as every time it rains or gets too cold, the doors automatically lock and the one rear door doesn't respond to signals at all nor does it have a key making it most inconvenient to twist around to fix it. The car handles fabulously and has good pickup -- a vast improvement from my former four cylinder. The leather interior is very nice, and it has many hidden compartments. The windows defrost fairly quickly. Overall, the car has been very reliable and cheap to run.
